Airfix 1/72 Bristol Beaufort Mk.1

Airfix 1/72 Vulcan B.2
The new tool Airfix Vulcan is superior in every respect (unfortunately, also for the price) to the original issue dated back in 1983. The build is straight forward. However, the massive model size poses challenges along the build. Your [...]
"This one is SMALL and this one is FAR AWAY!" (Father Ted)
Decided to make a Mini Me of Airfixes Typhoon. Hunted down a second hand Hasegawa 1/48 and painted and decalled it the same as Airfix. Not a bad kit. Bought a couple of Eduard accesories.

1/72 Airfix Wellington
In the recent postings of the great vintage kits here, I thought I'd share one of my presents of the past Christmas. Last October I was scanning EBAY and spotted a mint condition 1959 Airfix Wellington kit. I happened to mention to my [...]
MARY NELL – Uncle Harold’s Checkertail P-51 D Mustang
When I was growing up, my Uncle Harold Taylor was a really big deal to the younger cousins. Not just because he'd been a fighter pilot in World War II and a POW, but because his P-51D Mustang - named for our mother's cousin our Aunt Mary [...]
